Performance Information

Performance

Our exclusive WinGuard® products combine heavy-duty window and door frames with impact-resistant laminated glass to ensure flying debris does not enter your home in the event of a major storm. A special silicone glazing process is used to keep the glass from breaking away from its frame. Although wind-borne debris may crack the glass on impact, the interlayer keeps the overall window intact, preventing destructive wind from entering your home. WinGuard with vinyl frames meets or exceeds International Building Code standards for air/water/structural and small and large missile impact protection and has Florida State Product Approval. WinGuard with aluminum frames has Miami-Dade Approvals to meet Florida’s most stringent code requirements for wind-borne debris protection and Florida State Product Approvals.

What does all of this mean to you and your home? If you’re looking for hurricane protection, WinGuard can withstand impacts from flying debris, followed by hurricane-force winds and the glass will still remain in its frame.

Now there’s no need for inconvenient, unsightly panel, accordion or rolldown shutters, plywood or other hurricane protection devices. Even when you’re away, WinGuard Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors help guard your home effortlessly against hurricanes, improve energy efficiency and so much more.

Benefit Information

More Than Just Hurricane Protection

PGT’s complete line of WinGuard® Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors is engineered to meet hurricanes head on. What does this mean to you and your home? WinGuard can withstand impacts from flying debris, followed by hurricane-force winds and the glass will still remain in its frame. It’s effortless hurricane protection for your home.

But it’s more than just hurricane protection. WinGuard offers the most complete line of residential impact-resistant windows and doors. This means you can purchase all of your product needs under one brand and maintain the integrity of the design. WinGuard also reduces noise, fading caused by sun exposure, energy costs and helps provide year-round security against thieves and intruders.

Like Sunscreen for Your Home

By filtering out 99% of UV rays, WinGuard helps shield your furniture, carpet, artwork and window treatments from the effects of fading caused by the sun. We also offer a variety of high-performance glass options that feature tints and Low-E coatings that help reduce solar heat gain, increase comfort and help you better manage energy costs.

Safe and Sound

The laminated glass in PGT WinGuard Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors absorbs sound rather than transmitting it, which helps to keep the world and its disruptions outside where they belong. In fact, the same type of glass is often used in airports and recording studios to significantly reduce ambient noise. The use of laminated instead of monolithic glass can result in an additional perceived loudness reduction of approximately 30% for a standard mixture of aircraft, railroad and vehicular traffic noise.

Protection Beyond Mother Nature

Breaking a window is the most common means of entry for an intruder. But with WinGuard, the same effortless protection that guards against hurricane damage also deters intruders. While normal windows shatter easily upon contact, the durability of WinGuard keeps windows in one piece. Whether it be a major storm or an attempted break in, WinGuard helps keep you, your family and your home safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Awesome WindowsI purchased new impact resistant windows and a slider last year and could not be happier with them. They look great and I feel so much safer as hurricane season approaches.

Awesome ProductWe recently replaced all windows as well as a sliding glass door with WinGuard aluminum products. The sliding glass door is a beautiful door - very solid - glides easily on the track and aesthetically pleasing. We chose the brushed nickel hardware which complements the stainless appliances which are in full view of the door. There is a signifcant difference in the noise level compared to the windows and doors we had prior - we hardly hear anything anymore. Nice to know that we are now protected going into hurricane season - peace of mind - well worth the investment.

In Florida, this is a no brainer!Replaced all my windows with PGT Horizonal Rollers and a couple of PGT Sliders. I did single glass because that is what we could afford but I know the double glass would offer better sound quality and keep the house even cooler. The house is more quiet, the FPL bill is down (less cool air leaking out and less heat coming in), insurance discount is a plus (I had to pay for another Wind Mitigation but it was well worth it) and the added security is an automatic benefit. Plus it makes the house looks better. And did I mention the main benefit of being hurricane impact protected??? As I said, living in Florida this is a no-brainer and I had an excellent installer (Palm Aluminum and Glass ) who did an A+ job and advised me on the PGT rebate! Very Satisfied.

Love my windowsHad a home built about a year ago and realized that I made a mistake and didn't install hurricane impact windows I contacted Absolute Windows and they recommended SH700 not only for protection from hurricanes but also a great sound barrier. After I changed to the SH700 Winguard I felt more protection from the mere weight and solid construction, the sound from outside was greatly reduced at least by 80 percent. Great product! When I get back down in Florida I am going to change my sliders to the 770 series. Both are great company's

Wasn't worth the expense / found flaw in glassRenovating my home, unfortunately live in SoFla and was forced to buy impact windows. hoped there would be some energy savings, electric bill has increased. Also, when windows were installed windows and doors I purchased were caked in glue, which took forever to clean (and still finding specks a year later)
In December I was cleaning the windows, about 6 months after installation, an noticed a "freckle" within the glass. I contacted the installer/PGT Rep about issue, still haven't heard back from him or PGT about resolution.

Poor Safety DesignI've purchased PGT windows previously and never had as issue till now. On a recent purchase I ordered 3 XOX type windows. I noticed that on one window the lock turns down and the other it turns up. Having a lock that flops into the open position (either with wear or someone hitting the frame real hard) is an obvious security issue. Even though there is a five (5) year warranty, it will most likely fail outside the warranty period. A call to the company was answered with "the windows passed our tests so this is not an issue".

Cant go wrong with PGT !!! multiple purchasesI have chosen PGT windows again and again to use not only in my home but in my rental properties as well. They are competitively priced, afford you the necessary protection against hurricane winds, make the units overall quieter and also provide a much much better security than any other type of window. The quality is there , I have some that have been around for 10 years and some that were recently installed...I would highly suggest anyone looking for window replacement to consider these PGT windows.

ISLAND WINDOWSNot happy with this product. We made it very clear to the vendor that the widows were being installed on our island home in the Bahamas. They have been installed for less than two years and the springs holding in the screens are totally rusted out and the mechanisms are rusting badly and the crank assemblies are beginning to pit. Contacting the vendor was a waste of time, as they refused to return our calls once we told them the problem - Do not install these windows near the ocean!

Serious Windows!We replaced every window in the house with Wingard with 7/16 inch laminated glass and tint. A big surprise was the level of noise reduction these windows provide. Also, our AC runs less and the electric bill has gone down. Very pleasant surprises. The noise and heat reduction make up for the fact that they're heavy to open and the top and bottom edges stick out an extra inch on the inside. ( if you have "inside frame" window treatments, expect to move or change them.)

What a difference!i have a beach front condo on Ft Myers Beach. The winds can get wicked. my old windows were shot and the wind would blow right thru gaps. the condo was noisy as the FMB Fire Dept loves to play with their sirens and road traffic was noticeable. Now the condo is very quiet when the doors and windows are closed. my elec bill was cut in half as I am no longer cooling sw florida with my aircon. Randy's Island Glass did a great job on the installation and price.

disapointing not meeting expectationI bought 3 of these door for the addition that I did. for main house I had PGT french door before and they work beautifully. These doors however even though they look better they do not function well.
Handles keep falling off and needs to be tightened constantly.
doors does not close easily and they have to be slammed really hard to get them closed. Installer tried as hard as he knew how but could not make these door work any better.

Product is great, installation instructions not soIf your not an installer, the instructions stink. The sill had a tab of metal not cut just right so the frame would not screw together. The instructions were not helpful as it assumes it was all together. When the door was in, I was left with parts that PGT assumes you know what to do with. Other than that the product is great. I did all 14 windows with PGT Winguard and had no issues.

Windows good, PGT support not so muchThe windows came with the house and they are great, EXCEPT for the little plastic guide that keeps the window straight when you open or close it, broke off. Now it's hard to open or close the window. PGT's website doesn't even offer a parts list or even a part number. I cannot find it anywhere. PGT's website is all about selling windows and not supporting it's product... HELP!!!

Safety and QualityBought this product to replace my contractor grade windows. The quality and safety these products brought to my family was beyond my expectations. My wife was pregnant at the time and these made her feel incredible safe while she was home alone, let alone the protection from hurricanes they also provide. Could not ask for better windows and doors!

Completely changed my houseI replaced all my windows 9 months ago, replaced the old 1960's levered/pane windows and a few chalice ones. Cut the noise down over 50% and cut my A/C build drastically. It is so easy now to open my windows on a cool day to allow air to flow through my house and the security from hurricanes dropped my home owners insurance.

I recently replaced all my windows and doors with PGT WinGuard. I used the vinyl frames for the windows, but choose Alum for the doors due to the width of the frame on the vinyl being too wide. I love both the windows and the doors, it is so much quieter. I travel a lot and now I don't worry about someone breaking in.

Security, comfort and piece of mind1Love my new windows! Had the house outfitted with PGT Winguard horizontal rollers last year. What a reduction in noise and cooling costs. Great piece of mind for security as well. I renewed my home owners insurance and reduced my insurance bill too! Overall great upgrade to your home!!!

Amazing quality!These doors are so beautiful and of such high quality that I'm constantly amazed when I look at them. They seal like a bank vault and cut out noise from the outside. They're hurricane-resistant, though we'd be just fine if that feature never gets tested.

Poor Quality - Rusted HardwareAfter only 4 years, the hardware (of my casement windows) has rusted right off the window. I called after 1 year to complain about the problem and ask if it was under warranty and I was told that I was not washing them frequently and well enough.
